Fantastic experience: A very nice beach with little waves, you can park two streets up from the beach for free.
Fantastic experience: Extremely pretty beach but the ramp/stairs to get there and back is extremely steep so a little difficult for anyone in wheelchairs or lacking in mobility it may result difficult to access.
Positive experience: The beach is located in the very bay through which ships pass, so you can constantly feel the fuel. Small beach, big crowd. Parking is possible in front, but it is a blue zone. The parking machine was not working when we were there. Two streets away is the white zone, my recommendation. If you are looking for a beach near the caves, you should avoid this beach, find another one. Com is a better solution.
Fantastic experience: I really liked this beach. Easy parking. There is a staircase descent and you walk along a wooden walkway. There are foot showers and around there are some bars or ice cream stands.
Positive experience: Quiet beach with easy access. If you go by car, you can park in the upper area where there is no blue zone, and it's a 5-minute walk with views of the entire beach and the port. There is a promenade on a terrace that is really nice.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic little beach. Nice selection of bars and restaurants to choice from. Golden sands. Worth a visit if you are staying local.
Positive experience: The views are stunning, sand, great place, the only downside is that the waters have a high content of microorganisms and it is advised not to bathe.
Positive experience: Porto Cristo beach has a lovely, laid-back atmosphere. The crystal-clear waters are inviting, and the sandy shore is clean and comfortable. While it might not be the most secluded beach, it's a charming spot to spend a few hours.
Positive experience: Crowded; from the sea to the sandy area, there is very little space. There is no parking, and you have to navigate through an already hyper-crowded area. In summer, it's almost impossible to get there and park nearby. At night, it's a nice promenade. If you take a photo facing the public, you can say you're in Morocco and everyone would believe you.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful bay, fine white sand. Very well served with nearby underground parking.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic little beach. Nice selection of bars and restaurants to choice from. Golden sands. Worth a visit if you are staying local.
Positive experience: the beach is great, the restaurants opposite are a bit expensive due to their proximity. Visit the center in 1 hour. Caves to see. Half a day without swimming is enough. Public double.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with plenty of space to relax. There are many terraces and restaurants nearby. You can find relatively close free parking and enjoy the beach.
Fantastic experience: What a lively little town, port and beach Porto Cristo is. Clean water, not too busy on the beach. Great for families with kids. Lots of shops & restaurants nearby. Will visit again

Fantastic experience: Clean beach, toilet facilities. Lifeguard present during high season. Sunbeds available to rent, no security boxes like some other beaches. Space for own chairs, towels.
Fantastic experience: The beach in Porto Cristo is amazing. White sand, crystal clear water, where you can see fish swimming around. Even when there are waves, the current isn't very strong. Should there be any danger swimming there, the lifeguards are very alert and they will recommend safety precautions. There are toilets available.
Fantastic experience: Lovely clean beach. Sunbeds with fixed umbrellas to hire. Portable toilets free to access. Water is calm, clear, and clean. Lifeguards on duty.
Positive experience: A lively sandy beach with 3 bars behind it and close to resort shops and bars. The beach has a few lifeguards as well as 2 types of sun beds with shade for hire. Priced at either 18 euros for the blue beds 2 beds and shade and safety box. Or 35 euros for the light brown beds which did include 2 drinks. (November 2022) There is a bit of sea weed/bark that gathers in an area but there are plenty of areas away from this and the sea is lovely gentle and clear too. Well worth a visit.
Fantastic experience: This is what you come to Mallorca for, the most beautiful small beach with picturesque cliffs wrapped around by the enchanting warm turquoise ocean. Spanish style villas dot the cliffs, while boats rest peacefully in the harbour. The beach is carefully watched over by lifeguards, kept clean from litter, there is a public toilet and the bonus of a foot shower to wash your sandy feet before leaving the beach. There is an array of tourist shops and restaurants to visit too.

Fantastic experience: Cool city, you have to see it sometime, but the beautiful harbor and the ancient dragon cave were the best.
Fantastic experience: Porto Cristo 2016 Wunderschöner kleiner Ort perfektes Ausflugsziel mit Badestrand! Die Altstadt lässt sich auch sehen ebenso die Höhlen am Stadtrand (Drachenhöhlen)
Fantastic experience: Ein toller kleiner Hafen mit vielen kleinen Fischerbooten und befestigte Wege laden zu schönen Spaziergängen ein. In der Bucht ist fast den ganzen Tag Sonne und selten Wind. Außerhalb der Saison kann man hier auch direkt am Wasser kostenlos parken. Wenn man schon mal hier ist sollte man die nahegelegenen Drachenhölen besuchen!

Fantastic experience: Very nice place, full of shops, cafés, and restaurants. Its beach is good for both swimming lovers and snorkeling. It has a very elegant nautical club, and you can see Rafael Nadal's catamaran there, which is impressive. You can also book various catamaran trips to different coves, or ask at the tourist information office located on the same avenue, and take the various buses that come and go to different towns.
Fantastic experience: Love it. Nice, quiet, with a lot of places to grab a bite or to shop for souvenirs. The water was crystal clear with a place to go snorkeling.

Fantastic experience: Lovely natural harbor with beautiful rock walls and houses above. Along the idyllic harbor promenade, there are various cozy restaurants that invite you to linger. Nearby, be sure to visit the Coves del Drac (Drach Caves). Wonderful.
Positive experience: ideale per tutti e in particolare x chi non desidera le onde alte che nella maggior parte delle cale non ti permettono un bagno rilassante. però non aspettarti acqua trasparente stile piscina;solo molto pulita niente alghe e calda ma allo stesso tempo polverosa che non ti permette di vedere i piedi. parcheggio a pagamento ad ore dalle 10 alle 18 nella discesa principale a ridosso della spiaggia.bel porticciolo con diversi negozi locali e passeggiata,a mio vedere ê l'ideale dalle 15.30 o cmq pomeriggio fino al calar del sole.
Fantastic experience: Como muchas playas y calas de la isla es un rincón espectacular. Aguas cristalinas turquesas, fondos claros y muy protegidas de olas, muy interesante para practicar deportes acuáticos, buceo, roqueos llenos de vida. Si tienes una cámara de acción es perfecta para fotos y vídeos.
Positive experience: Per me è una spiaggia sottovalutata. Tranquilla, acqua cristallina, diversi ristoranti nei dintorni, facile parcheggio a ridosso della spiaggia (max 2.55€ 150 minuti, pagando anche con carta sulla colonnina a disposizione). Vale la pena una visita o fare almeno un bagno :)

Fantastic experience: This is the 2nd time I go to Porto Cristo since I have lived in Mallorca. I can't explain why, but I love the place, maybe because it has a beach but it is still a small town. I would love to work and live there! Meanwhile, I recommend that you visit Porto Cristo, you will have an unforgettable time.

Fantastic experience: What a lively little town, port and beach Porto Cristo is. Clean water, not too busy on the beach. Great for families with kids. Lots of shops & restaurants nearby. Will visit again
Fantastic experience: I think Porto Cristo has the best fish restaurant! The restaurant is located a few streets from the sea and has a cozy interior but also a terrace. The food is fresh and delicious, the service is quick and very nice! The price-value ratio is also very good!
Fantastic experience: Not very wide, but certainly one of the most beautiful beaches in Mallorca. Crystal clear sea despite the small adjacent port. Recommended.
Positive experience: Very nice harbor and a small sandy beach
Fantastic experience: Beautiful views..and not only....

Fantastic experience: Nice boulevard. If you park at the top of the village and then walk down (note: very steep! You have to walk back up as well), parking is free. Restaurant Vibes has great food and friendly service.
Positive experience: Charming place. With a small harbor. Attention for smokers: some outdoor restaurants are non-smoking zones.
Positive experience: The harbor is charming, the beach section is nice, and you can take good pictures. The public restroom is closed, so there is urine smell and feces in several places. Be careful.

Should there be any danger swimming there, the lifeguards are very alert and they will recommend safety precautions. There are toilets available.
Fantastic experience: In the middle of the marina, we have a family-friendly and very quiet cove, full of bars and restaurants, and if you look out over the harbor, you will see Rafa's catamaran. It's like Cuenca with its hanging houses but facing the sea. Beautiful.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Mallorca, the water is clean and the place is nice

Positive experience: Small sandy beach swim zone small, because excursion ships go to the harbor.
Positive experience: A typical holiday destination in Mallorca, just go there.
